Description

电子元件安装设备和方法 Electronic component mounting apparatus and method

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种用管嘴(nozzle)保持电子元件,并且将这样被保持的电子元件转移到基板(substrate)上,并将该电子元件安装在基板上的电子元件安装设备和方法。The present invention relates to an electronic component mounting apparatus and method for holding an electronic component with a nozzle, transferring the electronic component thus held onto a substrate, and mounting the electronic component on the substrate.

背景技术Background technique

在将电子元件安装在基板上的这种设备中,通过使用图像识别处理来修正电子元件的安装位置的技术被广泛地使用于提高基板上电子元件安装位置的精度。在该技术中,转移头从元件供应区段上拾取电子元件,并且用管嘴保持电子元件,然后沿着一路径移动到基板。照相机对被头部所保持的电子元件拍摄。该电子元件的被拍摄的图像被处理用于检测该电子元件的偏移。当该电子元件被定位到基板上时,该电子元件的偏移被修正,因此,该电子元件被精确地安装在它的正确位置。In such an apparatus for mounting electronic components on a substrate, a technique of correcting the mounting position of the electronic component by using image recognition processing is widely used to improve the accuracy of the mounting position of the electronic component on the substrate. In this technique, a transfer head picks up an electronic component from a component supply section, holds the electronic component with a nozzle, and then moves along a path to a substrate. The camera photographs the electronic components held by the head. The captured image of the electronic component is processed for detecting deflection of the electronic component. When the electronic component is positioned on the substrate, the offset of the electronic component is corrected, so that the electronic component is precisely mounted in its correct position.

使用照相机来识别电子元件位置的技术是众所周知的。其中第一技术是:电子元件的下侧被光从下面照明,并且照相机接收从电子元件反射的光以拍摄该电子元件的图像。如此获得的图像被用于位置识别。另一种技术是透射照明技术。在该技术中,使用了反射板,它位于电子元件的后方。照明光投射到反射板上。照相机接收从反射板反射出的光。被拍摄的图像被用于位置识别。另外一种已知的技术使用两个不同的识别系统,它们各自被应用到需要被识别的它们自己的对象上,并且根据当前识别的对象被有选择性的使用。这些系统被安装在一个电子元件安装设备中(参见例子,JP-A-08-153997<日本专利申请公开号:Hei 08-153997.>)。当前使用的电子元件安装设备包括不同的光源。根据被识别电子元件的形状、大小和表面属性,从那些光源中选择出一个光源。因而,可以选择性地使用多个识别系统。Techniques for using cameras to identify the location of electronic components are well known. Among the first techniques is that the underside of the electronic component is illuminated with light from below, and the camera receives the light reflected from the electronic component to take an image of the electronic component. The images thus obtained are used for position recognition. Another technique is transmitted illumination technique. In this technique, a reflector is used, which is located behind the electronic components. The illuminating light is projected onto the reflective plate. The camera receives the light reflected from the reflector. The captured images are used for location recognition. Another known technique uses two different recognition systems, each of which is applied to its own object that needs to be recognized, and is selectively used depending on the currently recognized object. These systems are installed in an electronic component mounting apparatus (see, for example, JP-A-08-153997 <Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 08-153997.>). Electronic component mounting equipment currently in use includes different light sources. A light source is selected from among those light sources based on the shape, size and surface properties of the identified electronic component. Thus, multiple identification systems can be selectively used.

在选择性地使用多个识别系统的这种电子元件安装设备中,安装位置的精度有时会由于识别系统的特性而变化。更具体的,当处于相同状态中的电子元件被一个同样的照相机拍照时,根据透射照明所拍出电子元件图像的位置识别结果有时不同于根据反射照明所拍出电子元件图像的位置识别结果。In such an electronic component mounting apparatus that selectively uses a plurality of identification systems, the accuracy of mounting positions sometimes varies due to the characteristics of the identification systems. More specifically, when electronic components in the same state are photographed by the same camera, the position recognition results of electronic component images captured by transmitted illumination are sometimes different from those of electronic component images captured by reflected illumination.

该识别结果的不同是由不同的因素引起的:例如,透射照明系统(其中,电子元件的外形轮廓被显示为图像)和反射照明系统(其中,电子元件的下侧形状被显示为图像)之间的不同,以及在透射照明中照明光的衍射等等。因此,当在选择性地使用多个识别系统的这种电子元件安装设备中,通过根据被识别对象来选择识别系统来进行元件安装操作时,如所述的位置识别结果的不同导致了元件安装精度的变化。The difference in the recognition result is caused by different factors: for example, between a transillumination system (in which the outline of the electronic component is displayed as an image) and a reflective illumination system (in which the shape of the underside of the electronic component is displayed as an image) The difference between them, as well as the diffraction of illuminating light in transmitted illumination, etc. Therefore, when a component mounting operation is performed by selecting a recognition system according to a recognized object in such an electronic component mounting apparatus that selectively uses a plurality of recognition systems, the difference in position recognition results as described causes component mounting Variation in precision.

Components, the electronic components are mounted on the substrate located on the transport path 2. The camera 9 moves onto the substrate 3 and takes pictures of the substrate 3 . The Y-axis stages 6A and 6B, and the X-axis stages 7A and 7B constitute a transfer device which is a head moving device for moving the transfer head unit 8 relative to the substrate 3 .

一线性照相机(line camera)11和一管嘴储存器12位于沿着转移头单元8从元件供应区段4到传输路径2上的基板3的移动路径上。该线性照相机构成一用于识别电子元件的识别装置,下文将会描述。线性照相机22从下侧对被转移头单元8所保持的电子元件拍照。该管嘴储存器12包括不同类型的管嘴,它们适用于被作为吸取对象的不同类型的电子元件。为了将吸取管嘴替换成新的,转移头单元8存取该管嘴储存器12。A line camera 11 and a nozzle stocker 12 are located along the moving path of the transfer head unit 8 from the component supply section 4 to the substrate 3 on the transport path 2 . The line camera constitutes an identification device for identifying electronic components, as will be described below. The linear camera 22 photographs the electronic components held by the transfer head unit 8 from the lower side. The nozzle stocker 12 includes different types of nozzles suitable for different types of electronic components to be sucked. In order to replace the suction nozzle with a new one, the transfer head unit 8 accesses this nozzle magazine 12 .

将参考图2描述转移头单元8。如图所示,转移头单元8具有多种类型,并且包括用于保持电子元件的多个吸取头8a(堆置(mounding)的头)。该吸取头8a与照相机9一起移动。这些吸取头8a分别设置在吸取管嘴14上用于吸取式的保持着电子元件。The transfer head unit 8 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 . As shown in the figure, the transfer head unit 8 has various types, and includes a plurality of suction heads 8a (mounding heads) for holding electronic components. The suction head 8 a moves together with the camera 9 . The suction heads 8a are respectively provided on the suction nozzles 14 for suction-holding the electronic components.

吸取管嘴14分别可拆卸地被联接到吸取头8a的管嘴保持器10上,并且可根据所安装的电子元件的类型选择地使用。当吸取管嘴14分别被连接到吸取头8a的Z轴马达8b驱动时,它们可在垂直方向独立地移动。此外,吸取管嘴14当其被普通的θ轴马达13驱动时,可绕θ轴旋转。The suction nozzles 14 are respectively detachably coupled to the nozzle holders 10 of the suction head 8a, and can be selectively used according to the type of electronic components mounted. When the suction nozzles 14 are respectively driven by the Z-axis motor 8b connected to the suction head 8a, they are independently movable in the vertical direction. In addition, the suction nozzle 14 is rotatable around the θ axis when it is driven by a general θ axis motor 13 .

将参考图3来描述结合到该电子元件安装设备中的图像识别装置的设置。该图像识别装置是这样的一种识别装置:从下侧给被吸取管嘴14所保持的电子元件P拍照,并且识别电子元件P的位置。该图像识别装置由用做拍照装置的线性照相机11和用于识别以及处理线性照相机的拍照结果的识别单元16组成。照明单元15设置在线性照相机11的光学系统周围。该照明单元15从下侧照明电子元件P,这样线性照相机11对电子元件P拍照。照明单元15包括两种类型的光源,一透射照明的光源15a和一反射照明的光源15b。The arrangement of the image recognition device incorporated into this electronic component mounting apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . The image recognition device is a recognition device that photographs the electronic component P held by the suction nozzle 14 from the lower side and recognizes the position of the electronic component P. The image recognition device is composed of a linear camera 11 used as a photographing device and a recognition unit 16 for recognizing and processing the photographed results of the linear camera. The lighting unit 15 is disposed around the optical system of the line camera 11 . The lighting unit 15 illuminates the electronic component P from the lower side so that the electronic component P is photographed by the line camera 11 . The lighting unit 15 includes two types of light sources, a light source 15a for transmission illumination and a light source 15b for reflection illumination.

透射照明的光源15a和反射照明的光源15b各自由具有多个发光二极管的环形阵列组成。一照明选择器17选择透射照明的光源15a或反射照明的光源15b。通过控制照明选择器17的操作,位于照明单元15上的被照明的对象在不同照明方向中的一个方向上从下侧被选择性的照明。一安装在吸取管嘴14上的盘形反射板14a通过反射面14b向下反射从透射照明的光源15a射出的光。The light source 15a for transillumination and the light source 15b for reflective illumination each consist of an annular array with a plurality of light emitting diodes. An illumination selector 17 selects the light source 15a for transillumination or the light source 15b for reflective illumination. By controlling the operation of the lighting selector 17, the illuminated object located on the lighting unit 15 is selectively illuminated from the lower side in one of different lighting directions. A disc-shaped reflective plate 14a mounted on the suction nozzle 14 reflects downward the light emitted from the light source 15a for trans-illumination through the reflective surface 14b.

将参考图4A和4B来描述通过使用透射照明的光源15a和反射照明的光源15b而实现的两种元件识别处理。图4A解释性的展示了使用透射照明光源15a的透射照明识别技术。透射照明的光源15a被这样设置,从透射照明的光源15a发出的光以一预定的照射角斜向入射到位于电子元件P上方的反射板14a上。从反射板14a上反射出的光从电子元件P的后方垂直入射到线性照相机11上。Two types of component recognition processing realized by using the light source 15 a for transmission illumination and the light source 15 b for reflection illumination will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B . FIG. 4A illustratively shows a trans-illumination identification technique using a trans-illumination light source 15a. The light source 15a for transmission illumination is arranged such that light emitted from the light source 15a for transmission illumination is obliquely incident on the reflection plate 14a positioned above the electronic component P at a predetermined irradiation angle. The light reflected from the reflection plate 14a is vertically incident on the line camera 11 from behind the electronic component P. As shown in FIG.

该线性照相机11接收入射光以拍出电子元件P的图像18。在图像18中,除了电子元件P区域以外的背景区域是一亮图像18a,并且相应于电子元件P的区域是一暗图像19a。从图像18中提取出与暗图像19a的轮廓线相应的电子元件P的外形Pa,从而获得外形Pa的代表性位置(例如重心位置),从而检测到电子元件P的位置。The line camera 11 receives incident light to take an image 18 of the electronic component P. As shown in FIG. In the image 18, the background area other than the electronic component P area is a bright image 18a, and the area corresponding to the electronic component P is a dark image 19a. The profile Pa of the electronic component P corresponding to the outline of the dark image 19a is extracted from the image 18 to obtain a representative position of the profile Pa (eg, the position of the center of gravity), thereby detecting the position of the electronic component P.

外形Pa的位置包括透射照明识别特有的位置误差。因此,位于由识别位置偏移先前获得的特征偏移量Δxa和Δya的位置的外形Pt,是电子元件P的真实位置。换句话说,通过由透射照明识别获得的电子元件P的位置上加上偏移量Δxa和Δya(=透射照明识别时的偏移量)获得电子元件P的真实位置。The position of the profile Pa includes a positional error specific to transmitted illumination recognition. Therefore, the outline Pt at a position shifted by the previously obtained characteristic shift amounts Δxa and Δya from the identified position is the true position of the electronic component P. In other words, the true position of the electronic component P is obtained by adding the offsets Δxa and Δya (=offset at the time of transmitted illumination identification) to the position of the electronic component P obtained by the transmitted illumination identification.

图4B解释性的展示了使用反射照明光源15b的反射照明识别技术。反射照明的光源15b被这样设置,从反射照明的光源15b发出的光以一预定的照射角斜向入射到位于电子元件P的下侧表面上。从电子元件的下侧反射出的光垂直入射在线性照相机11上。FIG. 4B illustratively shows the reflection illumination recognition technique using the reflection illumination light source 15b. The reflective illumination light source 15b is arranged such that light emitted from the reflective illumination light source 15b is obliquely incident on the lower side surface of the electronic component P at a predetermined irradiation angle. The light reflected from the underside of the electronic component is vertically incident on the line camera 11 .

该线性照相机11接收入射光以拍出电子元件P的图像。在图像18中,除了电子元件P区域以外的背景区域是暗图像18b,并且对应于电子元件P的区域是亮图像19b。从图像18中提取出来与亮图像19b的轮廓线对应的电子元件P的外形Pb,从而获得外形Pb的代表性位置,从而检测到电子元件P的位置。The line camera 11 receives incident light to capture an image of the electronic component P. As shown in FIG. In the image 18, the background area other than the electronic component P area is a dark image 18b, and the area corresponding to the electronic component P is a bright image 19b. The outline Pb of the electronic component P corresponding to the contour line of the bright image 19b is extracted from the image 18, thereby obtaining a representative position of the outline Pb, thereby detecting the position of the electronic component P.

外形Pb的位置包括了反射照明识别特有的位置误差.因此,位于从识别位置移动先前获得的特征偏移量Δxb和Δyb的位置的外形Pt,是电子元件P的真实位置.换句话说,通过由反射照明识别获得的电子元件P的位置上加上偏移量Δxb和Δyb(=反射照明识别时的偏移量)获得电子元件P的真实位置.The position of the profile Pb includes the positional error specific to reflected illumination identification. Therefore, the profile Pt located at a position shifted from the identified position by the previously obtained feature offsets Δxb and Δyb, is the true position of the electronic component P. In other words, by Add offsets Δxb and Δyb (=offset during reflected illumination recognition) to the position of electronic component P obtained by reflected lighting recognition to obtain the real position of electronic component P.

所述的两组偏移量(Δxa和Δya,以及Δxb和Δyb)由于照明技术的特性经常取不同的值。这种识别结果的差异由不同的因素引起:例如,透射照明系统(其中电子元件的外形轮廓被显示为图像)和反射照明系统(其中电子元件的下侧轮廓被显示为图像)之间的不同,在透射照明中照明光的衍射等等。The two sets of offsets (Δxa and Δya, and Δxb and Δyb) often take different values due to the characteristics of lighting technology. This discrepancy in recognition results is caused by different factors: for example, the difference between a transillumination system (where the outline of an electronic component is shown as an image) and a reflective lighting system (where the outline of an electronic component's underside is shown as an image). , the diffraction of illuminating light in transmitted illumination, and so on.

因而,本实施例的电子元件安装设备存储了两组偏移量(Δxa和Δya,以及Δxb和Δyb),并且根据当前使用的识别系统适当地选择这些组偏移量中的一组。对于电子元件在元件安装操作中被定位到基板上时的位置修正,该组偏移量加上安装位置偏移量,该安装位置偏移量用于修正由安装机械机构中固有的误差导致的位置偏移。这些偏移量的总和被用作位置修正值。Thus, the electronic component mounting apparatus of the present embodiment stores two sets of offsets (Δxa and Δya, and Δxb and Δyb), and appropriately selects one of these sets of offsets according to the currently used identification system. For positional corrections of electronic components as they are positioned on the substrate during component mounting operations, this set of offsets is added to the mounting position offset, which is used to correct for errors caused by errors inherent in the mounting mechanism. position offset. The sum of these offsets is used as the position correction value.

为了代替在所述位置识别处理中每次都将安装位置偏移量加到偏移量(=识别偏移量),可以使用以下的替代方法。安装位置偏移量被看作每个电子元件安装设备的特有参数,并且它预先包括在识别偏移量中。为了实现位置修正,该替代方法需要简单计算处理,将识别偏移量直接加到识别处理的结果中。Instead of adding the installation position offset to the offset (=recognition offset) each time in the position identification process, the following alternative method can be used. The mounting position offset is regarded as a parameter unique to each electronic component mounting apparatus, and it is included in the identification offset in advance. In order to achieve position correction, this alternative method requires a simple computational process, adding the recognition offset directly to the result of the recognition process.

将参考图5描述用于电子元件安装设备的控制系统的结构。在图5中,通过使用存储在安装数据存储器22中的安装数据,包括CPU的控制单元20进行存储在安装程序存储器21中的元件安装程序,从而控制元件安装操作。安装程序存储器21存储着进行元件安装操作必需的各种程序,例如安装顺序程序。The structure of the control system for the electronic component mounting apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. 5 . In FIG. 5, by using the installation data stored in the installation data storage 22, the control unit 20 including the CPU executes the component installation program stored in the installation program storage 21, thereby controlling the component installation operation. The mounting program memory 21 stores various programs necessary for performing component mounting operations, such as mounting sequence programs.

安装数据存储器22存储安装操作必需的数据,例如代表基板3上电子元件的安装位置数据,电子元件特有的数据以及安装操作必需的数据。安装位置数据包括区别数据(distinction data),该数据用于指出用于识别单个电子元件位置的识别系统,例如透射照明系统或反射照明系统。The mounting data memory 22 stores data necessary for mounting operations, such as data representing mounting positions of electronic components on the substrate 3, data specific to electronic components, and data necessary for mounting operations. The mounting position data includes distinction data indicating an identification system used to identify the position of the individual electronic components, such as a transillumination system or a reflective illumination system.

安装位置偏移量存储器23存储偏移量值(安装位置偏移量),用于修正由安装机构的机械误差导致的安装位置偏移。透射照明识别的偏移量存储器24存储使用透射照明系统进行位置识别时所使用的偏移量Δxa和Δya。反射照明识别的偏移量存储器25存储在使用反射照明系统进行位置识别时所使用的偏移量Δxb和Δyb。The mounting position offset memory 23 stores an offset value (mounting position offset) for correcting the mounting position offset caused by the mechanical error of the mounting mechanism. The offset amount memory 24 for transmitted illumination recognition stores offset amounts Δxa and Δya used for position identification using the transmitted illumination system. The offset amount memory 25 for reflected lighting recognition stores offset amounts Δxb and Δyb used in position recognition using the reflected lighting system.

机构驱动单元驱动X轴平台7A和7B,和Y轴平台6A和6B,以及吸取头8a的Z轴马达8b和θ轴马达13。识别单元16通过处理从照相机9的拍照操作收集的图像数据而识别出基板3的位置,以及通过处理从线性照相机11的拍照操作中收集的图像数据识别出被吸取管嘴14所保持的电子元件的位置。一照明选择器17选择透射照明的光源15a或反射照明的光源15b。该光源的选择是根据安装数据中用于指出位置识别系统的数据而进行的。The mechanism drive unit drives the X-axis stages 7A and 7B, and the Y-axis stages 6A and 6B, and the Z-axis motor 8b and theta-axis motor 13 of the suction head 8a. The recognition unit 16 recognizes the position of the substrate 3 by processing the image data collected from the photographing operation of the camera 9, and recognizes the electronic component held by the suction nozzle 14 by processing the image data collected from the photographing operation of the line camera 11. s position. An illumination selector 17 selects the light source 15a for transillumination or the light source 15b for reflective illumination. The selection of the light source is carried out according to the data in the installation data indicating the position identification system.

形成控制装置的控制单元20通过机构驱动单元26控制包括X轴平台7A和7B,Y轴平台6A和6B以及吸取头8a的Z轴马达8b和θ轴马达13的安装机构,因此被吸取头8a保持着的电子元件被定位到基板上并且被安装在该基板上.用于透射照明识别的偏移量存储器24和用于反射照明识别的偏移量存储器25组成用于存储偏移量的偏移量存储装置,该偏移量是定位时根据识别装置的识别结果来进行位置修正时对于结合有自带的光源的每种识别系统所使用的偏移量.The control unit 20 forming the control device controls the installation mechanism including the X-axis stages 7A and 7B, the Y-axis stages 6A and 6B, and the Z-axis motor 8b and the θ-axis motor 13 of the suction head 8a through the mechanism drive unit 26, so that the suction head 8a The held electronic components are positioned on the substrate and mounted on the substrate. The offset memory 24 for the identification of the transmitted illumination and the offset memory 25 for the identification of the reflected illumination constitute offsets for storing the offsets. The offset storage device, the offset is the offset used for each identification system combined with its own light source when the position is corrected according to the identification result of the identification device during positioning.

将参考图6中的流程图描述一种电子元件安装方法,该方法通过使用如此构造的电子元件安装设备而进行。在元件安装操作开始之前,从安装数据存储器22中读出关于电子元件安装其上的基板3的安装数据。当安装操作开始时,控制单元使得转移头单元8移动到元件供应区段4,并且使得转移头单元8上的吸取头8a吸取式地拾取电子元件(ST1)。然后,控制单元使得保持着拾起的电子元件的转移头单元8移动到线性照相机11上(ST2)。An electronic component mounting method performed by using the electronic component mounting apparatus thus configured will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 6 . Mounting data on the substrate 3 on which electronic components are mounted is read out from the mounting data memory 22 before the component mounting operation is started. When the mounting operation starts, the control unit moves the transfer head unit 8 to the component supply section 4, and causes the suction head 8a on the transfer head unit 8 to suctionly pick up the electronic components (ST1). Then, the control unit moves the transfer head unit 8 holding the picked up electronic component onto the line camera 11 ( ST2 ).

根据读出的安装数据,控制单元区分用于识别被转移头单元8所保持的电子元件的识别系统(ST3)。具体地,控制单元区分用于识别电子元件位置的识别系统是透射照明识别系统还是反射照明识别系统,然后,选择相应于所选择的识别系统的照明方法。当选择的识别系统是透射照明识别系统时,该控制单元选择透射照明方法(ST4)。当选择的识别系统是反射照明识别系统时,该控制单元选择反射照明方法(ST5)。并且,该控制单元指令照明选择器17选择相应于所选择的识别系统的照明方法。然后,该控制单元读出相应于所选择的识别系统的偏移量(识别偏移量)(ST6)。具体地,该控制单元对于透射照明识别24从偏移量存储器中读出偏移量Δxa和Δya,或着对于反射照明识别25从偏移量存储器中读出偏移量Δxb和Δyb。Based on the read out mounting data, the control unit distinguishes an identification system for identifying electronic components held by the transfer head unit 8 (ST3). Specifically, the control unit distinguishes whether the identification system for identifying the position of the electronic component is a transmitted illumination identification system or a reflected illumination identification system, and then selects an illumination method corresponding to the selected identification system. When the selected identification system is a transmission illumination identification system, the control unit selects a transmission illumination method (ST4). When the selected identification system is a reflected lighting identification system, the control unit selects a reflected lighting method (ST5). And, the control unit instructs the lighting selector 17 to select a lighting method corresponding to the selected recognition system. Then, the control unit reads out the offset corresponding to the selected identification system (identification offset) (ST6). Specifically, the control unit reads the offsets Δxa and Δya from the offset memory for transmitted illumination identification 24 , or reads the offsets Δxb and Δyb from the offset memory for reflected illumination identification 25 .

其后,对电子元件拍照。具体地,线性照相机11通过所选择的照明方法给电子元件拍照(ST7)。然后,识别单元16识别处理拍出的图像(ST8)。控制单元将偏移量加到识别处理的结果,并且将加法的结果作为元件位置输出(ST9)。这样,控制单元输出修正的或真实的元件位置,它不包括由使用不同识别装置而产生的识别处理结果的位置误差(参见图4A和图4B)。Thereafter, the electronic components are photographed. Specifically, the line camera 11 takes a picture of the electronic components by the selected lighting method (ST7). Then, the recognition unit 16 recognizes and processes the captured image ( ST8 ). The control unit adds the offset to the result of the recognition process, and outputs the result of the addition as the component position ( ST9 ). In this way, the control unit outputs corrected or true component positions, which do not include positional errors of the recognition process results produced by using different recognition means (see FIGS. 4A and 4B ).

随后,转移头单元8移动到基板3上面,并且它的吸取头8a降至基板3,将电子元件安装在基板3上。既然这样,电子元件的位置根据输出的真实位置被修正,然后,该电子元件被安装在修正的位置(ST10)。在必须修正安装机构固有的误差的情况下,偏移量和安装偏移量的总和的偏移量总和被用作实际的位置修正值。Subsequently, the transfer head unit 8 is moved over the substrate 3 and its suction head 8 a is lowered to the substrate 3 to mount the electronic components on the substrate 3 . In this case, the position of the electronic component is corrected based on the output real position, and then, the electronic component is mounted at the corrected position (ST10). In cases where errors inherent in the mounting mechanism have to be corrected, the sum of the offset and the sum of the mounting offset is used as the actual position correction value.

因而,电子元件安装方法包括步骤:相对于基板3移动用吸取管嘴14保持电子元件P的吸取头8a;对在吸取头8a的移动路径上的被吸取管嘴14保持的电子元件P拍照,并且通过识别单元16识别所照图像;和将被吸取头8a保持的电子元件P定位到基板3上并且将该电子元件安装在基板上。Thus, the electronic component mounting method includes the steps of: moving the suction head 8a holding the electronic component P with the suction nozzle 14 relative to the substrate 3; photographing the electronic component P held by the suction nozzle 14 on the moving path of the suction head 8a, And the captured image is recognized by the recognition unit 16; and the electronic component P held by the suction head 8a is positioned on the substrate 3 and the electronic component is mounted on the substrate.

对于结合有自带光源(透射照明的光源15a或反射照明的光源15b)的每个识别系统预先存储的偏移量,被用作在定位时根据识别单元16的识别结果实行位置修正时所使用的偏移量。For each identification system combined with its own light source (light source 15a for transmission illumination or light source 15b for reflection illumination), the pre-stored offset is used when performing position correction based on the identification result of the identification unit 16 during positioning offset.

因而,在选择性地使用多个识别系统的这种电子元件安装设备中,当元件安装操作通过根据识别的对象选择合适的识别系统而实行时,不会存在位置识别结果差异引起元件的安装精度变化的问题。Therefore, in such an electronic component mounting apparatus selectively using a plurality of recognition systems, when the component mounting operation is carried out by selecting an appropriate recognition system according to the recognized object, there is no positional recognition result difference causing component mounting accuracy The problem of change.

工业适用性Industrial applicability

对于结合有自带光源的每个识别系统预先存储的偏移量,被用作在定位时根据识别单元的识别结果实行位置修正时所使用的偏移量。即使在选择性地使用多个识别系统的这种电子元件安装设备中,由使用其他类型的照明方法所引起的位置识别结果差异被修正以保证必要的元件安装精度。The pre-stored offset for each identification system combined with its own light source is used as the offset used when performing position correction based on the identification result of the identification unit during positioning. Even in such an electronic component mounting apparatus that selectively uses a plurality of recognition systems, differences in position recognition results caused by use of other types of lighting methods are corrected to ensure necessary component mounting accuracy.
